  \"angular\": \"~1.5.0\",
  ....
  ....

\"resolutions\": {
  \"jquery\": \"~2.1.4\",
  \"angular\": \"~1.5.0\"
}
         


        

Answer 1

I was getting the same error on Windows 10 with Git Bash for Windows

ECONFLICT Unable to find suitable version for jquery

and it was not going to the part where I could choose options !1 or !2

For me switching to Windows PowerShell solved the problem and runing the same command bower install

I am suspecting it was connected with the user permissions.

Answer 2

Best way to start with is to do

bower cache clean

After that when you do

bower install it will ask you

Unable to find a suitable version for jquery, please choose one:
1) jquery#exampleversion1 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by demo1
2) jquery#^exampleversion2 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by app2    
3) jquery#>.examplegversion3 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by app3Test

then you can enter !1 or !2 , or whatever suits your needs the best.

Prefixing number with ! essentially adds the resolution block into bower.json but it will give you more control over what's happening and it might solve your problem.
